Hello all,
I have a male Russian tortoise that I've had for the last couple of years or so. I'm going on a 2 week vacation for the first time in late August. I was thinking of having him board with a local herp store/place that offers boarding for a fee. I know they are knowledgeable and have been boarding reptiles for the last 5 years. But I'm still a bit nervous since it'll be my first time leaving him with somewhere else. I wasn't sure what everyone's experience with boarding their torts has been. I'm also seeing if I can have a close friend potentially house sit or at least check on him every few days for a couple weeks as well provided they're around (I know they travel sometimes in the summer too).
Thank you.
